Great now I've got another project to work on lol. Very cool display! I was leaning toward something like this;Don't know how you were planning to display the LEDs, but this is an example from HP:

Don't see why you couldn't. Just make sure to mask any electrical contacts.can one spraypaint a PCB board black?
Don't know if you're making PCBs yourself or having them fabbed, but you can order them with black soldermask if that would help.Great now I've got another project to work on lol. Very cool display! I was leaning toward something like this;
Since I'm working with 3mm-ish diodes I can go much thinner. Plus I was to show off the changes in construction method over the years. I think I can squeeze in some electronics if I use an acyrilic $1 bill display case.
The HP display does bring up a question; can one spraypaint a PCB board black? I do love the style of it and those LED displays aren't as hard to find so maybe I'll whip up one. Everyone I've talked to enjoys those early LED display units.
Not sure yet about the pcb. Are there any custom pcb shops that I could order a single board from?Don't know if you're making PCBs yourself or having them fabbed, but you can order them with black soldermask if that would help.
Most of the inexpensive Chinese shops will charge the same for 1, 5, 10, only a tiny bit more for 20. I've never ordered less than 10. I'm not sure ALLPCB (where I've ordered in the past) even offers less than 10, but when the boards are only $1-2 a piece, including shipping, it doesn't matter too much.Not sure yet about the pcb.

Yup! The bots are getting pretty advanced. I've noticed some of the capcha tests for sign up to websites are getting even more elaborate which probably means the bots are learning how to "click the photos with buses in them."Just like Craigslist.
